Today, June 26, 2025, the Chief Ovo Edewor Foundation joins the global community in commemorating World Drug Day.
This year’s theme, “Breaking The Chains,” serves as a poignant reminder of the need to collectively address the scourge of drug abuse and illicit trafficking. We recognize the devastating impact of substance abuse on individuals, families, and communities and are committed to raising awareness about the dangers of drug abuse and promoting efforts towards a drug-free society.
Drug abuse and illicit trafficking are complex issues that require a multifaceted approach. We acknowledge the intricate links between substance abuse, crime, and social problems and are dedicated to supporting initiatives that address these challenges.
As we celebrate World Drug Day, we urge stakeholders, policymakers, and communities to work together to raise awareness about the risks and consequences of drug abuse and illicit trafficking, provide assistance and support to those affected, and collaborate with law enforcement agencies to disrupt the illegal drug trade and bring offenders to justice.
The Chief Ovo Edewor Foundation is committed to playing its part in the fight against drug abuse and illicit trafficking. We invite individuals, organizations, and communities to join us in this effort. Together, we can break the chains of addiction and organized crime and build a safer, healthier society for all.
We also take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), and his team for their remarkable work in combating drug abuse and illicit trafficking.
Let us work together to create a world where individuals can thrive without the burden of substance abuse and illicit trafficking. Happy World Drug Day.
